"This is the record of Henry Armstrong's climb to fistic fame and of the spiritual experience which led him from the prize ring to the pulpit." A childhood in the Mississippi cotton plantations, boyhood in the rough slums of St. Louis, living in the hobo jungles, fighting that led to his career in boxing. "He made a million and lost it fast, lost his championships, his self-respect. Then, like a blow in the ring, came the impact of God's calling, "the champ's" conversion, and his decision to become a minister of God," (from DJ flaps). 256 pp. Very light wear to edges, light speckling to top edge, a few little dirty spots to fore and bottom edges. Previous price sticker to FFEP, endpapers have faint little soiling in spots. A couple .25" tears to DJ top edge and a few tiny chips to edges. Gilt lettering to spine, black cloth-covered boards, pale yellow topstain. Unmarked text. 16 pages of photographs. Tight, bright. VERY GOOD in Near Very Good Dustjacket. Bookseller Inventory # 67131
